Thanks for all the feedback.

The biggest change since the last version is how this patch series interacts
with the split-index feature.  With a split index, most of the cache entries
are stored in the shared index so would benefit from multi-threaded parsing.
To enable that, the EOIE and IEOT extensions are now written into the shared
index (rather than being stripped out like the other extensions).

Because of this, I can now update the tests in t1700-split-index.sh to have
updated SHA values that include the EOIE extension instead of disabling the
extension.

Using p0002-read-cache.sh to generate some performance numbers shows how
each of the various patches contribute to the overall performance win on a
particularly large repo.

Note how this cuts nearly 300ms off the index load time!
